Hey Heliian. Again Thanks for your feel back. I should respect you every single way because you are coming from Centennial College. We all welcome you coming back to hire more of us or to share your aviation success story face to face. I do what I say, and I practice what I preach. Do you, Mr. Helii...

Good to hear that I am right. Fellow students, think about what you going to do after graduation and make informed decision. If you still think aviation is for you, go ahead but don't let anyone tell you it is going to be easy. If you head into a dead end now, don't give up. The sky is literally bri...

Thanks Troubleshot and Pat Richards. I will not give up aviation. I was lucky to get way well prepared to handle this SH1Tango before I started schooling. (I am really fine. For real. Thanks again.) But not every students know what they are stepping into. I remembered in a saying in "Walking Dead", ...

First of all, thank you very much for positive comments (for most people). Look outside of Toronto? That was exactly what I did 2 years ago. Even a little bit further. I really saw how young aviation professionals are being treated inside and outside of Canada. And I know that I will not be treated ...

Thanks dashx and Floatr for providing positive feed back. Others are not so helpful. There is nothing wrong with Centennial College. Most teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. What I felt is so much negative energy from the Canadian aviation industry. Canadian AMEs are not helping others AMEs...

Hi: I graduated from aviation maintenance and got accreditation. What can I really do with it? I know that you can deduct time on your apprentice period. However, what will happen if I cannot find an AME apprentice job. Is it really useless? Can I convert it to A&P? Anyone had worked in the USA righ...

Thanks. Seems like it is not worthwhile to.

If someone has a M + S + E education out of college, I am sure it is a positive thing. But is it worthwhile? Had anybody done this route before? How about M + E? or M + S?

Thank you very much. So much useful information here.

My goal is to get into M2 aircraft. After doing some research, having the M2 license alone doesn't get you anywhere without any type endorsements. Type endorsement courses are expensive and employers do not want to pay for those unless they feel very confidence about the employee. Is it better to fi...

Good insight. It all depends on who you work with.
I guess it is very important to find the right employer ....the very first time ...
Hail AME for kindly signing my logbook.

That is a lot better than what I heard. I guess some unlucky dudes may spend more time than that.

What is a typical time to gain an AME license after graduation? Urban legend had told me that it takes a longgggggggggggggggggggg time. Especially the avionics license. 2 to 3 years after graduation is just a dream. Is it much more than that? 2 to 3 times more? Is TCCA too tough?? and/or the employe...

Hi Windigo: I tried contacted them (ICS Canada) a while ago regarding whether I need to take Transport Canada's technical exams after completion of their courses. They never gave me back any answers. If you do not need to be certificated and you don't need practical college experience, I would recom...

Anyone knows the differences between FAA repairman and A&P?
Does TCCA recognize any work experience as an FAA repairman in the US?
Do we (Canada) has a repairman certificate (or something similar)?

I think most colleges do not recognize one another credit. I asked one college that I'm interested in and their answer is no. They do not provide transfer credits between ATOs.

I wonder if Transport Canada will accept courses that I took in one AME ATO in combination of other courses that I took in another AME ATO for licensing purpose. (i.e. taking some courses in BCIT and some courses in Centennial for the bases of my basic training)

Any one know what does the SFAR 41C at the back of your AME license mean?

What are the special federal aviation regulations?

There had been a huge icy-storm in these last few days in Ontario. Can you share some of your experience working in these weather? Alot of de-icing fluids?? Freezing?? Flight delays??

The good news is: You are not alone. Almost every industries nowadays need low paying employee with great experience. And they do not willing spending money to train anyone. I came from another technology field. Coming to college studying aviation for a "BETTER" future. I have seen many people in th...

I wonder if AME-E able to get an A&P. [asked in another post, no one reply yet]
Does it matter if you are AME-M or AME-E to get an A&P??

OH..... I see.

I am a 1st year AME-M student. My AME prof told me today that we cannot use normal car wax. I am not certain, I think the car wax create static electricity. What are the special waxes approved by FAA and TC?

If someone holds an AME-E, can he challenge the A&P exams?

I'm in Ontario. (but perhaps going to USA for aviation jobs upon graduation) Perhaps due to USA economic influence.... It SEEMS to me a lot of job postings (including some Canadian jobs) requires A&P. I had seen a Canadian job in a aviation manufacturing facility that requires "A&P or Canadian equiv...
